Superstar singer Celine Dion and her manager husband Rene Angelil have tentatively set a June 2010 date for her return to Caesars Palace! I have been reliably told by one of the couple’s closest confidantes that she will resume shows at The Colosseum next summer -- 13 months from now.

“It won’t be anything like the nightly schedule she had when she was resident there for five years previously,” he said. “It will be a flight series of concerts similar to the number that Bette Midler and Cher perform there now every year.

“First priority, though, at the moment is her attempt to have a new baby. She is not pregnant yet, but she is trying really hard. Setting her return date 13 months out works perfectly with her plans for a new pregnancy. If it’s not meant to be, it still works, and she’ll have enjoyed a full-year hiatus.”

I also was told that my story of the June 2010 return -- even though everything has been tentatively agreed to by Caesars Palace, AEG Live/Concerts West and Celine -- will be denied for now but will be proven true once any pregnancy is confirmed. Since my inside source has never been wrong in the past, I feel confident that he’s on target yet again!
